Preconception Visits
In Manhattan
Preconception visits are one of the most valuable steps you can take before getting pregnant. They are often overlooked, but they help ensure a healthier pregnancy, reduce risks, and provide peace of mind. Materna can help identify and manage health risks early. Pre-existing like diabetes, high blood pressure, a history of miscarriages, a LEEP procedure, thyroid issues, anemia, or obesity can affect fertility and pregnancy outcomes. Addressing these before conception helps lower the risk of miscarriage, preterm labor, preeclampsia, or complications during pregnancy.
Preconception Visits
Preconception visits at Materna help you prepare for a healthy pregnancy by identifying risks, optimizing your health, and providing personalized guidance, so you can start trying with confidence and support.
We review your medical and family history, medications, nutrition, and fertility to identify and manage any risks before pregnancy, reducing the chance of complications.
Our OB/GYN providers offer tailored counseling, diagnostic testing, and emotional support, helping you understand your body and create a plan for a healthy pregnancy.
Expect a thorough visit including physical exams, bloodwork, ultrasound, and a follow-up to review results—ensuring you feel informed, reassured, and ready for the next steps.
